RESULTS OF DAY TWO (M-e)

Saeros is banished from Beleriand. He attempts to take ship to Valinor, but the liberated feminist Uinen senses a male chauvinistic pig and sends him directly to Mandos.

No one in Doriath cares particularly. Thingol has a lot of other counsellors. Counsellors are trained to tell the King what he likes to hear, and in this case, to an Elf they tell him that Men must be excluded. Melian makes a cryptic comment about exceptions being possible but nobody listens...

RESULTS OF THE CHALLENGE

Finrod, out hunting with Maedhros and Maglor, befriended the folk of Beor, and they dwelt near Hithlum.

However, the folk of Marach, following them, were deceived by spies of Morgoth, and Bereg of the House of Beor was persuaded by them. Only Amlach, who had happened to bump into a Morgothian doppelganger of himself one stressful morning, resisted the Dark Lord's lure...none of the Men who went east were seen again.

The Haladin were turned back by Thingol, and set upon by Orcs; and Haldad and Haldar were killed before Caranthir rescued Haleth and the remainder. They were granted lands in Brethil eventually...

As for the Dwarves, they made no alliance with the Elves, and none with Morgoth; yet they traded with two smiths among the Elves, Curufin and Eol.

Talking of Eol...Aredhel, on her spirited wanderings, was checked in Nan Elmoth, and so stopped by. Marriage resulted in Maeglin. But Aredhel gave him the name Lomion in secret.

Ha ha! Maeglin is born, and there's nothing any of you cowards can do about it!

Meanwhile, the power of Morgoth waxes greatly. It is said he prepares for a sortie; he has received more rebel Maia from the war in Valinor, and his creations grow ever more horrible...

++Sauron.

The fool can't do anything right whatsoever. Just the other day he tried to kill a group of elves by transforming into a large boulder.

That couldn't move on its own.

The elves were uphill.

To make a long story short, the moron rolled downhill and crushed his squad of orcs! If he can only kill his teammates, he has no purpose! Besides, he can't do much else.

Very interesting, Sir AngMod. You believe that Curunir turned towards the darkness so early?

**The Saucepan Man** · 10-17-2005, 02:19 AM

I notice that Eonwe, presumably lacking a firm hand from Manwe, has also turned to the dark side ...

Lalaith · 10-17-2005, 02:21 AM

So he is...

or rather so he has. Sorry.

Anguirel · 10-17-2005, 04:36 AM

Eonwe's treachery lends a perfect excuse to be rid of him. Morgoth's armies are massively strong, but at least without the ex-Herald the Eldar and Edain will have a hope...

++EONWE

if he becomes king over the city, he will marry Idril. thereby preventing the birth of Earendil and the intervention of the Valar.

Why really, Alcarillo. Are you saying the princess of Gondolin, the woman who fought Maeglin "like a tigress" on the battlements of the burning city, is just part and parcel of the inheritance, a passive flower ripe for the picking? That she has no free will or choice of her own?
Pshaw. Idril Celebrindal will fall in love with and marry Tuor no matter who is king.
